Getting Back in the Saddle Nacho is a 14 yo Paint gelding who has a few issues and has had 7 years off. This is our journey!

I’m not a professional trainer and will make mistakes but I will work through them and get professional help when I feel I need it!

I’ve changed the name of the page because as most people know, I lost Nacho on January 1, 2023. So now I’m going to be focusing on my own journey back into the saddle.

I am so lucky to have some pretty amazing friends who have horses I’ll be able to ride. My one friend has a horse I’ve been able to get on twice now! Ricky Bobby is my friend Darcey’s horse! He’s a lovely chap who’s been kind enough to not buck me off, even when I’m unstable and unsure up there lol. Thank you Darcey for helping me out!!

My goals starting out are to get my muscles back into shape and so they don’t scream at me to stop!! So far I haven’t been too sore the next few days but I know the more I do the more it may hurt!

Yesterday, we had a bit of a breakthrough I feel… we actually had a few instances of long and low! Long and low is when they stretch down to the ground with their noses. It stretches out the top line and can only be done if they’re totally relaxed! The end goal will be for him to do this at a walk, trot, and a canter!

I haven’t posted here for a while and figured it would be a good time for an update! I’ve had Nacho for a little over a year now and while I’m not galloping across the hills with him, I have seen major improvements! He had the whole winter off and I’ve just started working with him again. I’ve gone back to the beginning and am slowly working through everything again. This time it’s taking a lot less time to see the changes. Here is a video I took from yesterday and I’ll post the one from our second lunging session a year ago in the comments…huge difference!
